Twain has been eager to get to Paris for a shave by a real Parisian barber. He has seen all the propaganda and false advertising in the United States and fights tooth and nail to track down this luxury. However, it soon becomes apparent that Paris has not a single barber shop. There are only a few wig shops, which offer barber services. He agrees to the wig-shop barbering but finds himself sorely disappointed.
